    Hello everyone

    Can I join please - my aim is to pay off one of many credit cards - the worst for interest being my Vanq card which stands at £750.00 at the mo. I'm gonna check tomorrow how I go about paying it via the internet and I take it that I let you know how I'm doing - is that right :confused:

    Vanq is the worst for interest but I have others who's balances are alot higher but I want to be realistic about this and clear a debt quicker rather than be demoralised by slower progress - does that sound right?

    Anyway - good luck to everyone - this is a fab idea

    Hi Helen - We seem to be attractinG the jelles in this thread, I think there's 3 on here now with jelly in their names!!

    Anyway, welcome to the [STRIKE]mad[/STRIKE] fab world lovingly known as padding! :T There are no rules as such when it comes to padding but when post your pad, would you be so kind as to put it in BOLD, COLOUR or bigger than the rest of your post so it makes it easier for the total to be calculated?

    You can pay to whatever you like - credit card, savings jar, extra payments to a loan (you get the idea!) and if you want to, you can keep track of your total amount padded in your signature so we can all see how fab you're doing!

    Just one wee warning - PADDING IS HIGHLY [STRIKE]DANGEROUS[/STRIKE] ADDICTIVE! :D

    Evening all! Very good mood this evening as the mighty LCFC have won their first game of the season :beer: Don't forget to watch the highlights Andy and Shaun, the two new guys made an excellent start, especially Waghorn he was very impressive. (goals always help :p)

    I have already made my multi-pad to cover the next few days, will re-budget when we get back from holiday so I know I'll have enough.

    Danko, our school was thinking about applying to do that diploma and as a D&T/Graphic Design teacher I'd be probably end up being involved if it does go ahead so I might be picking your brains about it! (secretly hoping they don't bother as I've just got my courses running really well, but ah well, can't stop change!)

    Hope you have all had a good saturday, I shouldn't really stay o n here for too long as have gotta finish packing but you know I will lol

    xx
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    It's my birthday on Tuesday and my Darling OH had secretly arranged a babysitter and booked a restaurant (he's not normally big on grand gestures)!
    Bless him! So we've just got back from a gorgeous 3 course meal - I'm STUFFED! Prob put on a few pounds - but S*D it - it was worth it!!:D
